Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein traverse the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from upstream nodes to downstream nodes in response to determining the supply chain network is divergent.
5. The system of claim 3, wherein traverse the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from downstream nodes to upstream nodes in response to determining the supply chain network is convergent.
6. The system of claim 3, wherein traverse the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from most connected nodes to least connected nodes.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein traversing the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from upstream nodes to downstream nodes in response to determining the supply chain network is divergent.
12. The method of claim 10, wherein traversing the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from downstream nodes to upstream nodes in response to determining the supply chain network is convergent.
13. The method of claim 10, wherein traversing the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from most connected nodes to least connected nodes.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein traverses the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from upstream nodes to downstream nodes in response to determining the supply chain network is divergent.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein traverses the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from downstream nodes to upstream nodes in response to determining the supply chain network is convergent.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein traverses the material buffers and resource buffers to locate the complicating node comprises moving from most connected nodes to least connected nodes.
